It's quite a sign of the times that Ford is pivoting away from EVs and will focus its battery tech on AI data centers instead.
There's a growing list from memory manufacturers to construction companies all pivoting from their primary focus areas to feed at the AI datacenter trough.

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

I've been off social media a lot, for me, this afternoon, but catching up and what the actual fuck is wrong with some people. You can absolutely condemn the Israeli government for its genocide in Gaza. If you use that in any way shape or form to minimise the attack in Sydney you need serious help.

It's not just me that says that our social web should be connected by RSS.
Cory Doctorow said it.
Molly White said it.
And last week Ben Werdmuller said it.
If they all did it, we'd have all the freedom we could ever want.

So let's make a resolution for 2026, that we the people, will demand that the social networking software we use get in tune with the web, and support two-way RSS.
I will help any and all to get this going.

And loads of union flags and massive crosses... because that's traditional at the events where we celebrate Christ's BIRTH, isn't it. Crosses and flags.
